The self-taught, freelance make-up has been doing make-up for four years and her make-up art varies from special effects and fantasy to high fashion and beauty

Film student Stephanie explains: ‘My make-up has been getting more recognition than it ever has and that alone inspired and was the motivation for this visual art piece.’

Talking about her inspirations for her work, Stephanie says: ‘I am an artist and was born with art in my heart. Of all of these artistic variations, make-up is most prominent. I have been doing make-up artistry longer than any other art form.
